Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August e, 1918. Serial No.,248,627.

To all whom it may concern lie it known that I, WILLIAM LEUGKERT,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Astoria, county of New York, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Mirror, Flag, and Lamp Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in display stands carried by vehicles where by a plurality of objects may be displayed at the front.

The principal object of the invention. is to provide stands or supports adapted to be used in pairs in which mirrors are mounted to turn in any direction, so that observations may be taken of the road at the rear of the vehicle, the stands also supporting illuminating means and are provided with devices in which flags or like may be displayed. Such objects are attained by the novel combination and construction of parts hereinafter described and shown in the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which t Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the front of a conventional type of automobile and indicating the application of the support stands.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing one of the support stands looking from thefront thereof.

Fig. 3 is a partial side elevational and vertical sectional view of the same.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing in detail the lens carrying device.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing in detail the flag stafl' supports.

' Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing a support stand engaged with one of the vertical arms of the wind shield.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a guard used in place of the device shown in Fig. 4, when the light is not required.

Referring to the drawings, Fig. 1 shows a conventional arrangement of parts including the engine casing 10, resting upon springs 11 and carried by the front axle 12 journaled in the wheels 13.

Over these front wheels are mud guards 14, upon the upper surface of' which are secured stands 18 by bolts passing through their flanged bases 19.

Formed with the tubular supports 18 are hollow spherical chambers 21 into which enter the upper ends of tubular sleeves 23.

formed with undercut slots 24 for the receptlon of pins 25 in the manner of the well known bayonet-joint, these pins be- 1ng set 1n the sides of sockets 26, carrying electric lamps 27 to which the customary feed wlres 28 are connected, which are passed through the sleeves 23.

Partially encircling the heads 20 and coverrng the mam lateral openings therein, are thin metallic casings 30 having raised margmal bands 3'1 at their rear edges, While the opposlte' front sides are curved upwardly as at 32 and secured over them are U shaped r1ngs 33 containing lens 35 through which the rays of the front lamps 27 show. In the modification shown in Fig. 4 openings 36 are provided in the casings for the side lens 38, held in the bands 39, secured to the casing in any convenient manner.

The other openings 40, in the casings 30, correspond w1th the upper portion of the frame supports 18, so as to hold the same from turning, in addition to screws 41 WlllCh pass through the casings into the heads.

Onthe opposite sides of the heads 20 are spherical casings 42, their-marginal edges belng held by the bands 31. Upon the outer surface of the casings 42, substantially opposite the lens 35, are concave cupto the size of the openings 48 in the head,-

the plate 54 can be moved limitedly in any direction and remain held by friction in their adjusted position.

Carried by the plates 54 are necks 55 engaged with the backs 56 of the mirror frames 57, containing the mirrors 58 here shown to be convex and, due to the readily like elements 44 with which are formed on made adjustment in angularity of the mirror, the road at the rear of the vehicle can be easily seen.

The mirror may be used without the flag sockets or without the lam in which case cups maybe applied" 1n place of the casing 30, covering the opening through the head and held in place by the screws 41.

In Fig.'6 is shown a modification, the changes consisting of plain cylindrical support], in place of the stand 18 engaged with the head, the support being connected with the outer end of the bar 66 looped as at 67 and adapted to be clamped by the screw 68, the loop encircling a vertical support or post 69 used in connection with a wind shield. i

From the drawings it will be seen that the device disclosed iscapable to ready adjustment in any direction, and is adapted to carry electric lamps the rays of which may be tracked in front of the path of the vehicle while, 'by'the use of the mirrors, the driver is enabled to view the road passed bination with a tubular standard and a 1101- I low substantially spherical head formed therewith, of a casing partially enveloping saidhead, an opposite disposed casing, a cup movable over said second casing, sockets extending laterally from said cup, a mirror, a casing in which said mirror is held, a concave plate formed with the back of said mirror casing adapted to connect with said cup, a bolt for drawing said concave plate against said cup and head, and means permitting said mirror to niove limitedly in any direction.

In testimony whereof I have afiiXed my signature.

' WILLIAM LEUCKERT.
